I've seen in done on a MAG 254 in the past, it should be the exact same way on at MAG 250.
You should be prompted tomorrow (February 1, 2016) to enter your username and password which is your donation number. If your already in the Portal you may get an "Authentication Problem" flash up on the screen, all you will have to do at this point is reset your MAG, and then you should be prompted for username/password. Be sure to have that handy or you will be without TV.
For More information please check out my tutorial here
thx thegame I guess I'm just having to wait for the prompt to enter the info which if I read correctly will come tmrw? and I did read your tutorial my friend just couldn't figure out where to put the info thanks again for the info
I went ahead and made the switch to then new STB now. from what I am reading it should prompt for the new Username and Password once they turn on the new server authentication. I had to disable the stalker addon in Kodi and do the switch mac addresses in the route checker. But after that the STB loaded right up...
Well watched some crap shows waiting for X-files and right at 6pm connection problem and now can't get back in.... Staring at the bar at the moment...... Im guessing the user/password is being implemented... just sucks they do it at the time x-files comes if that is happening.
Ok just to get this clear ... when the change takes place just enter my donation number as my username and password and press ok reboot and thats it????
